About Raspberry Pi and Arduino

About Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi is a low-cost, credit card-sized computer that runs a full operating system. It’s perfect for teaching programming, networking, multimedia, and general computing. It also is designed to connect to displays, keyboards, and sensors, allowing students to create everything from simple games to complex automation systems.

About Arduino

Arduino is a microcontroller platform designed to teach electronics, control systems, and physical computing. It’s ideal for hands-on learning, enabling students to build circuits, write code, and interact with the physical world through lights, motors, sensors, and more.
